Junior High School Students from Ube City Visited CLAIR Sydney

Ten junior high school students and two English teachers from Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, visited Australia as a part of a junior global training program, and on 6 Aug they visited the CLAIR Sydney office.

Despite having only just arrived in the country, the students listened very attentively as staff of CLAIR Sydney gave a presentation on Australia and CLAIR Sydney’s activities in Australia and New Zealand. A staff from the

Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) also visited the CLAIR Sydney office to give a presentation on the promotion of tourism to Japan in Australia and New Zealand.

After visiting the CLAIR Sydney office, the students and teachers visited Newcastle, the sister city of Ube City in Australia. They participated in a homestay and made friends with local students. We hope that the information they learned at CLAIR Sydney proved useful for the Ube students during their time with their Australian host families.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
